Intended Use
These guidewires are intended for use in percuttaneous procedures to introduce and position catheters, pacing leads, and other interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The materials of construction stainless steel, nitinol, platinum are consistent with guidewires presently in commercial distribution. The wires are available straight, angled or with "J" end. The wires range from .014" diameter through .. 065" diameter and lengths from 20cm. to 360 cm. The wires are coated with a plastic hydrophilic or hydrophilic coating.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use are for a standard guidewire, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic analysis.

Yes
The intended use states that the guidewires are used in percutaneous procedures to introduce and position other devices within the vasculature, which is a therapeutic procedure.

No
Explanation: The device, a guidewire, is explicitly stated to introduce and position catheters, pacing leads, and other interventional devices. This indicates an interventional or therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (stainless steel, nitinol, platinum wires, coatings) and physical characteristics (diameter, length, end shapes), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the guidewires are for "percutancous procedures to introduce and position catheters, pacing leads, and other interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for medical procedures, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to diagnose or monitor conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics and materials of a guidewire used in interventional procedures. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen. There is no mention of diagnostic purposes based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This guidewire does not fit that description.

§ 870.1330 Catheter guide wire.

(a)
Identification. A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a torque device that is manually operated, non-patient contacting, and intended to manipulate non-cerebral vascular guide wires, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

  • (1) Submitter: Galt Medical Corp. 2475 Merritt Drive Garland, TX 75041 (972) 271-5177 Contact Person: David Catlin
  • (2) Device Name: Guidewire Trade Name: Easy Pass Hydrophilic Coated Vascular Guidewire Classification Name: Wire, Guide, Catheter Classification Code: DQX
  • (3) Substantial Equivalency: Galt Medical Corp. guidewires are substantially equivalent to guidewires from K982559, K021990, and K031916
  • (4) Device Description: The materials of construction stainless steel, nitinol, platinum are consistent with guidewires presently in commercial distribution. The wires are available straight, angled or with "J" end. The wires range from .014" diameter through .. 065" diameter and lengths from 20cm. to 360 cm. The wires are coated with a plastic hydrophilic or hydrophilic coating.

These guidewires are intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce and position catheters, pacing leads and other interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature.

  • (5) Technological Characteristics: Galt Medical's guidewires have the same indications for use and are otherwise technically the same as the predicate devices.
  • (6) Conclusions: Based on the information presented in this 510(k) premarket notification, Galt Medical's hydrophilic coated vascular guidewires are considered substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Catlin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
